Dominoes could do this easily for him. All the entries are put in via computer now anyway, writing the software to compute it while they give the order and have it at their fingertips when the order is placed.

All this just in case some bothersome worrywart wants to sweat whether it’s fattening or not. (It is, trust me)

Hell, a cheap laptop with all of the options available right there in the lobby so they can look it up on their site (or ask a kid who works there to do it for them if they’re computer illiterate) would still be an cheap option wouldn’t it?

>>>Pizza contributes to Climate Change<<<

Pizza OVENS contribute to Climate Change.

Pizza CAUSED FLATULENCE contribute to Climate Change.

Chain franchises who make and sell pizza really suck. Particularly Dominoes, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, and Cisi's.

I grew up in Connecticut, where (a)pizza is taken VERY seriously. That said, there is a place for the Domino's and Little Caesars of this world.

Years ago, Tom Monaghan said he wasn't in the pizza business, but in the pizza delivery business. Little Caesar's can feed a small family for $5 and change when the ma and pa place that makes a good pie would charge triple. I have been in cities where Pizza Hut made a better pizza than the awful cardboard producing local operations. In some cases, people travelling don't want to take chances and will take fast, clean and mediocre.

Even bad pizza can be pretty good. There are also some premium chains that still aren't as good as superior ma-and-pa outlets, but at least use high quality ingredients.

Blasphemy!.............I wish I’d thought of it...............

[Rebelbase]

LOL! I forgot.

[Red Badger]

Like everything they do, the government invokes the Commerce Clause to maintain their power................

You have freedom to choose where you get your pizza, but that’s not what this article is all about.

If you win, I'll vote for the constitutional amendment to allow them to do that because I like food labels. I think Congress was traitorous when they removed the country of origin labels.

It wasn't Congress, it was the World Trade Organization, and they didn't just REMOVE country labels, they PROHIBITED them. Businesses are no longer allowed to put labels identifying country of origin, as it might result in discrimination against products from Mexico and elsewhere. I think the big push on this came from China.

And 2 slices of just plain old chain store Pepperoni pizza will have your morning Blood Sugar at 170.

[plain talk]

Actually our local Walmart neighborhood store has these $8 super-size pizzas that I get occasionally. They are fresh not frozen and basically the equivalent of two pizzas. Not bad.

I don’t understand why Trump’s guys are implementing these stupid assinine Obama regulations.

[Red Badger]

But would it satisfy the Feds?...................

[blackdog]

Pizza hut to me is Salad Hut. They have a good salad bar. So I spared them on the pizza review.

[blackdog]

I know what the article is about, but I also know what it will become. Pizza is art. Very personal art. I know where this thread shall head.

[eldoradude]

We should probably be thankful that the Dems were booted out of office before this went from mandatory calory counts to mandatory calorie limits, or taxes (for our own good) on any orders exceeding certain calorie limits.

Not at all an exaggeration. Baseline caloric regulation and taxation of the excess...going to the general fund of course.

[Trillian]

I just make mine at home, no problem. In the last two weeks I’ve made stuffed crust with bacon and just cheese on a pizza stone, Sicilian pizza and I tried a new idea for garlic bread pizza as well.

[Red Badger]

garlic bread pizza!..................better trademark it!.................

[NorthMountain]

Now, can you point to the Article and Section of the US Constitution that gives the Feds the specific enumerated power to enforce this idiot rule?

It isn't there. It doesn't exist.

And that's the heart of the problem. Fedzilla is unconstitutional.

[Lurker]

“If you win, I’ll vote for the constitutional amendment to allow them to do that because I like food labels.”

Then let the market provide labels of their own volition for those like you who want them. Otherwise why don’t you get behind the founder of this esteemed forum and work to return Fedziilla to the Constitutional prison our Founders designed for it.
